Great C250 review on autoblog

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/28/2...-sport-review/

I thought this summed up the C250 the best of any review I have seen. It's also nice to see one with the sport package reviewed.

Nice finally. Looks like they really enjoyed the Agility package.

a lot of haters in the comments. The seats have definetly been changed for the 2013 model (the regular seats, not the sport ones). The 2012's would really hurt my back, but the new ones have been fixed.

Nice review. It's weird, I ONLY see reviews for the C250 Sport. The only Luxury review I have seen for a C250 is my Consumer Reports. They rated it only one point below the F30 328i. High praise considering the W204 came out in 2007 and the F30 came out in 2012.

That's TWO reviews where I have seen people complain about the car having a hard NAV button when the car doesn't have NAV. I think it's still there because people can add that Becker Map Pilot for thousands less than the Multi Media package.

The base seats are the same seats. There were no changes in those for 2013.

Perhaps you were in a 2012 without P1, and a 2013 with P1 (which includes 4 way lumbar support)?

no, my father had a 2012 with P1, and the seats would make me sore on long drives. Specifically my left lower lumbar area. Playing with the lumbar adjustment never helped. The 2012 got totaled and then he got a 2013 with P1; i dont get soreness or pain anymore on long drives with this car. I havent had to adjust the lumbar settings much on the new car either.

Interesting - not sure what the difference would be - sadly... it's the one area where I personally find the C lacking.

Seems like a pretty good review overall. I have a 2013 250 Sport and here are my complaints:

- uncomfortable seats
- annoying blind spot
- front end squeaks that I haven't quite figured out yet
- silver dash trim sometime reflects into the windshield

Other than these minor issues, it's been great car - but only 2500 miles so far.
